Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective β-C(sp3)-H Activation Reactions of Aliphatic Acids: A Retrosynthetic Surrogate for Enolate Alkylation and Conjugate Addition

Erika L. Lucas et al.

Summary: CONSPECTUS: The development of asymmetric beta-C-H activation reactions for organic synthesis has been described in this Account. By studying reaction mechanisms and stereochemical properties, both strongly coordinating and weakly coordinating directing groups were designed to achieve beta-C-H activation of aliphatic acids and carboxylic acids, respectively. The development of five classes of chiral ligands enabled enantioselective beta-C-H activation reactions of readily available substrates.

Pd(II)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzocyclobutenes by β-Methylene-Selective C(sp3)-H Arylation with a Transient Directing Group

Philip A. Provencher et al.

Summary: The study presents a Pd(II)-catalyzed synthetic approach for methylene-selective C(sp(3))-H arylation of ketones, utilizing glycine as a directing group and a 2-pyridone ligand for methylene selectivity. The reaction exhibits high selectivity for intramolecular methylene C(sp(3))-H arylation, allowing for sequential C(sp(3))-H functionalization.

Ligand-controlled divergent dehydrogenative reactions of carboxylic acids via C-H activation

Zhen Wang et al.

Summary: Dehydrogenative transformations of alkyl chains to alkenes through methylene C-H activation is a challenge, but it has been achieved using pyridine-pyridone ligands. The reactions allow chemoselective dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids, leading to the direct syntheses of alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids or gamma-alkylidene butenolides.

Synthesis of Cyclic Anhydrides via Ligand-Enabled C-H Carbonylation of Simple Aliphatic Acids

Zhe Zhuang et al.

Summary: The development of C(sp(3))-H functionalizations of free carboxylic acids has provided a wide range of versatile reactions, enabling convenient synthesis of cyclic anhydrides using Mo(CO)(6) as a solid CO source and a bidentate ligand. Succinic anhydride products serve as versatile intermediates for introducing various functional groups at the beta position of parent acids, offering a divergent strategy for synthesizing carboxylic acids inaccessible by previous beta-C-H activation reactions. Furthermore, enantioselective carbonylation of free cyclopropanecarboxylic acids has been achieved using a chiral bidentate thioether ligand.

A tautomeric ligand enables directed C-H hydroxylation with molecular oxygen

Zhen Li et al.

Summary: This study reports a palladium complex that efficiently catalyzes hydroxylation of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds at positions adjacent to carboxylic acids. The catalyst overturns the conventional site selectivity dictated by heterocycles, allowing late-stage modification of pharmaceutical compounds at previously inaccessible sites. Infrared, x-ray, and computational analysis support a potential role of ligand tautomerization in the catalytic cycle of this reaction.
